Having worked at restaurants before, I can say that it takes nothing for to yell at a server. The order can be correct, come at the correct time, prepared correctly, but what came for in the first place was to kick down for the pleasure of kicking down.
to kick down for the pleasure of kicking down.
The modern corporate restaurant experience has been completely designed around desire to look down and kick down on people
1984 but if it was about working in a restaurant
I’d be too awkward to say anything then ask for some peas to feed to the rats then they all become my friends and then one of the rats goes to the server and says “sorry I think they ordered an omelette”
please never be too awkward to ask for help when it’s actually needed
if you’re not an asshole about it no decent person will hold it against you
Usually i just do this face until whoever is with me asks for me
: You’re too timid to ask the waiter again, aren’t you?
I can’t imagine ever yelling at a server. It’s the most ridiculous thing to do. Hopefully that may die out with boomers. Especially since so many people now have to be underemployed in the service industry if they’re lucky
Ordering the vegan rat bowl to be polite
It’s just seitan with par-cooked spaghetti sticking out of it.
When I was at this bourgie restaurant in seattle I ordered breakfast and they put sausage in my eggs on accident, I ended up getting comped the whole meal and my bloody mary and still ate it anyway. Still left a cash tip for the server though.
I want to go to a rat cafe
I think there was a movie about that once.
They exist. Like cat cafes
There’s no rats there.

Oh, I have. But I never tire of rewatching and sharing it.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I fucking hate servers, man. I fucking hate dining out literally because of servers. I feel I have to do their fucking job, placate them, and teach them hospitality the entire time just so they won’t treat me like shit. And yet every time I’m compelled to leave them a 20% tip.
I would rather fetch my own food and glass of water than have to deal with them. For every rude customer these people have to deal with, there’s 10 others like in the pic who just paid to have them dump their daily traumas on them
I think you’re wildly underestimating the amount of assholes servers deal with. Especially women.
Just tip the 20%, and be mad they aren’t paid a fair wage. Getting mad about rude servers is really reactionary.
Obviously tipping is evil, but remember refusing to tip is not praxis
It’s praxis to pay someone to be racist, got it.
And that came out of left field. What the hell?
Literally the entire basis behind my complaints about servers
Racism is not the same as trauma dumping. Obviously if someone is blatantly racist or sexist you can withhold your tip. But complaining about having to tip and tying that to the _qualty of service _ is the issue here.
Complain about the low wages they’re paid (in many states submininum), but getting mad about tipping in this way is a bad look, especially when your post doesn’t mention anything beyond the pale. Also, it doesn’t change that servers should pool tips, tip out to back of house, and unionize. Fundamentally though, we can’t withhold tips systematically to achieve increased wages. So until wages are raised and tipping is banned, you need to tip.

Yeah, that guilt tripping won’t work on me, I always tip. If I were to withhold tips every time I was being given bad service because of my race, I would never tip.
I too, fucking hate servers. You think everything is fine and then boom: mystery networking error.
Hmmph. I see you’ve edited this comment once. Do it again, but just edit it to say “i never waited tables before.” and save everyone here that second of translation time.
I worked as a dishwasher
Indeed. That is objectively not “waiting tables”, and after 2 years as a line cook fry guy dishwater and long time waiter i can tell you also that it subjectively is not “waiting tables”.
In no way is your time spent in the back of the house, in the proximity of waiters relevant to the trials of customer facing work waiting tables.
Please stop being ridiculous
You get paid more than any of us. Why did you not go back to work as a dishwasher or line cook instead of waiting tables if the daily horrors of dealing with the unwashed masses are so traumatizing?
Oh dear, you are letting the cap-prop get to you. Don’t blame the worker for the conditions of their labor, c’mon what’s goin on here?
Servers are the front line representatives of the petit boug who own these establishments and I, as a food eater, have to deal with brunt of the racism embedded within these systems when I deal with you lot.
Amazing post. Tagline now.
Servers are the front line representatives of the petit boug
New site tagline dropped yo speaking of dropped you dropped this king:
Servers are the front line representatives of the petit boug
And here i thought that was the police. TIL
Post edit reply: You need to do some self crit my main mane. This shit here is fuckin’ embarrassing.
Btw, what do you think I edited off my original comment? I fixed grammar lmao
It was merely a pretense for my telling you to “delete this nephew” in a new bespoke bust just for you.
I attempt to make every comment i make entertaining, even the insulting ones. This “serves” (get it?) two purposes: it is more fun for me, and more memorable for you.
Please remember to tip!
I feel you, racist servers usually treat me like shit because they assume I won’t tip.
